Hey guys!
I learned how to code JavaScript by going through the entire freecodecamp section and adding supplementary knowledge from w3schools.
These are two OG resources for anyone looking to build some foundations in web programming.
Just stay consistent, use ChatGPT, and grind grind grind daily, you will get shockingly good in 3 months.

I am learning at w3schools
am learning at freecode academy also
but w3 is the best

Have you tried solo learn

Have you tried solo learn

I do read some tutorials there also

but it is not executing my javascript code
i haue been dowloading different type of code editor i just deleted every thing because it not user friendly

W3schools has done a lot of good for real, I learnt most of what I know at the beginning of my career from there years ago. It is best for beginners & they don't make you look stupid for not knowing simple things.

Even some complex topics in class back then was simplified on W3schools.

Then why is it so hated among programmers as a learning resource especially amongst those abroad. I remember when I was about to start learning and was searching for the best free platform, one even said if he saw an applicant with a certificate from W3schools, he'd instantly throw it into the bin.

I really would like to know why, if you don't mind.

Many reasons.

Incomplete resource:
W3schools is good for syntax, but It is extremely and amateur beginner friendly as It omits a lot of important stuff of a programming language when learning, but they forget people new to programming do not even require that deep resource, they just need to get their foot in the door. Definitely not for more seasoned programmers or for experienced seniors.

They are better resources such as freeCodeCamp, MDN for complete documentation. Tutorials Point website is also great but developers hate it too for the similar reasons.

Superiority complex:
Accomplished software engineers actually hate most amateur engineers and any content that cater to amateur engineers. They believe all content should be complex and very detail from the get-go. For example, using some programming languages can make you look like an amateur amongst other programmers.

Examples of superiority complex in tech:
PHP for example is seen as an amateur programming language. If you write Core PHP, you're not recognised as real programmer. Backend / Cloud engineers believe that they are more important and do a harder job than Frontend engineers. Someone on Nairaland even said Frontend engineering is not real engineering.

Stackoverflow bias:
Amateur dev questions on Stackoverflow years ago used to be flagged and closed because some group of devs were angry that users or a programmer can even ask such a question. Now we have ChatGPT that you can learn almost every thing from, whether simple or complex. The Stackoverflow bias has been defeated permanently.

Thanks for this. Now I seem to understand. Been using freeCodeCamp by the way. Done with CSS.
